the president did something very clear when he wanted to raise tax breaks or get rid of tax breaks for the wealthy in that he forced the republicans to fight for the wealthy and the average american said we no longer understand them. if we're going to really change and do better on election day and particularly get the white house back, we better get average americans to think we're fighting for them every day not just a small group of americans. >> bobby jindal offered a few details on how to, quote, stop being the stupid party. he did also say this. >> today's conservatism is completely wrapped up in solving the hideous mess that is the federal budget. the deficits, the mammoth federal death and the shortfall on our entitlement programs. we have an obsession with government book gaming. it's a rigged game and the wrong game for us to play. no, the republican party does not need to change our principles but we might need to change just about everything else we are doing. >> listening to bobby jindal and listening to what john just had to say is this largely a messaging problem? >> no,
